I'm finishing up my book and am busy doing a little editing this week, so instead of wowing you with my awesome stories (HA!) I decided to do a little contest instead. I'm posting some baby pictures (Awwww, how cute!). They're all pictures of my kids. Guess who is who. (Hint: there aren't necessarily 6 babies pictured here because I'm just tricky like that.) So, go ahead and guess who's who. The first person with the most accurate number of guesses will win a $20 gift card for Babies R Us good at any stores or online. If you don't have little babies, you can use it for your grandchildren, nieces, nephews, neighbors, co-worker's kids, or buy a bunch of diapers and formula with it and donate them to your local food pantry.

Okay, there's some wild guessing going on here. And since I don't have the names matched up with the kids, I'm going to use numbers...K? #1 is your middle son, #2 is possibly your middle daughter...that's quite a guess. #3 is your youngest son. #4 is your oldest daughter. Again, wild guessing. #5 is your oldest son and #6 is your youngest. How did I do???

Here are my guesses:1 - Jackson2 - Austin3 - Clayton4 - Savannah5 - Jackson6 - BrooklynAnd do I get extra credit for being up this late because my middle child threw up in his bed? Like you, the first thing I do is alert my DH! Happy editing, Diane K.

I'm totally awful at identifying people from their baby pictures, so I'll not guess, but can I just say how beautiful your babies are? I adore all those chubby little cheeks, happy smiles and bright shining eyes. I just wanna give 'em all smooshy kisses! And, boy, don't they look just like their mommy! Especially #6 (who I think might be Brooklyn, btw).

Umm... are they all the same baby?? Nahhhh.. of course they aren't. Umm... well... I give up, the only one I thing I might even be close to getting is the #6 and that one looks like Brooklyn. Great contest though!

I have never...in my life....seen 6 siblings who look so much alike. I would have sworn they were all the same baby. I'll guess anyway#2 - Austin#4 - Savannah#5 - Jackson#6 - Lexington#3 - Clayton#1 - Brooklyn

First one has to be Brooklyn. I have no clue on the rest, nor would I even guess for fear of making a total fool out of myself. I can hardly tell which one of my kids is in all the baby pictures I have. I have to look at blankets or surrounding background to pinpoint time of year, or the time frame. I spit out clones. They all looked alike at the hospital and thankfully they all look like my family and not the Ex's. Have a great day!

Thank you SOOOO much for your blog. I'm a mom of 4 and can relate to all of what you go through. Especially the toilet paper rolls.....grrrrrr. I also want to thank you for "introducing" me to Mimi and JuJU. My heart and prayers go out to them daily. So, I thought I would give the pictures a try and please tell your kids that I am truly sorry if I got them totally wrong.#1 - Savannah #2 - Austin #3 - Lexington #4 - Brooklyn #5 - Jackson and #6 Brooklyn.

I am not even going to try to guess because they are all so adorable....as all babies are! What a wonderful idea though about buying formula and diapers for the food bank or shelter. You are an amazing woman Dawn. God Bless you.A fan,Karen

My first impression when seeing the first picture was that it was Brooklyn. So if you did put one child twice, then I would have to say that #1 and #6 are Brooklyn. However, I'm inclined to think that #1 is actually Clay and #6 is Brooklyn.

Last night I tried to comment when you just had pictures only (and then it mysteriously disappeared)- but then I went to bed! My guesses are: #1- Austin, #2- Lexington, #3- Clayton, #4- Savannah, #5 Jackson, #6- Brooklyn.

I have never left a comment before but I love contests like this! 1.Jackson2.Lexi3.Clayton4.Savannah5.Austin6.BrooklynYou said there aren't necessarily 6 babies pictured, which confused me a bit...but I couldn't see you excluding one of your kids from the pictures. So I am hoping you just said that to throw us off.Your babies are all so adorable!!~Andi

Have you ever noticed that some families just have the same baby ovr and over again? It's like they come in two models: boy and girl, and then they just churn them out. That's what it looks like for you!

Congratulations on your book. I'd love to hear more about it. I've got three marriage/family books out now, including To Love, Honor and Vacuum, and Honey, I Don't Have a Headache Tonight: Help for women who want to feel more in the mood. Best of luck on yours!

I figured out why you onely have five....poor little Brooklyn doesn't have any pictures b/c she is number 6. Poor baby - just kidding. Great pictures. I can figure out which ones are boys and which are girls but that is as far as I can get. Thanks for sharing the pictures. My, my how fast time flys when you are having fun. I remember when my babies were that small :(

I also was pretty sure you wouldn't leave out one of your kids from the photos, so I was prepared to pick each of the six kids... until I saw baby 3 and baby 5, and I SWEAR they have to be the same baby! SO that threw my strategy out the window :)

I left my guesses earlier up in the comments, I just had to comment like so many others that I too thought you were saying not all six were there to throw us off, because you're just tricky that way :) Anyway, I'm lost :) they are all so adorable!

So I was supposed to grade some tests for my daughter's teacher last weekend...but of course I forgot! Until I got THE CALL from the teacher (why do I hate those more now than when I was in school?!?)...she was nice about it, but I felt like I had been sent to the principal's office. The first thing I did to make myself feel better was read your blog! I LOVE IT!!! Thanks for always making me laugh!--Tammy D.

Ok, I'm so not going to win this one, but it's fun to try anyway. Besides, I totally cheated and went off of what color clothes they were wearing, but then you messed me up by putting a few nakie babies in there lol.

Here goes:#1-Clayton#2-Austin#4-Savannah#6- Brooklyn

And 3 and 5 have me confused, but I'm going to say that #3 is Jackson and #5 is Lexi, but just in case I'm wrong, switch them around for me lmbo!!

P.s. I don't think I commented, but Brooklyn had me cracking up in that video. She reminds me SO much of my 20 month old...attitudes, the way their hair is in back.. all of it lol. They even cry almost identically.

I realize we aren't first, but my children are terribly disappointed that we won't be winning anything, although I doubt if they realized that the prize was a gift certificate to Babies R Us. So here we are, guessing anyway while my son does cartwheels in my bedroom at 9:58 at night.
